Huge mistake going for a guillotine instead of sticking to the takedown defense. #ufcvegas49

It’s weird to say that I still want to see Islam fight Dariush. 10 fights in a row is hard deny but damn man, I just wanna see Islam fight Top 5 before a title shot. Am I wrong for being so heavy in the merit system? He is the truth I just want to see top level vs top level first

I don’t think Bobby was getting out but damn give him a chance ref! Can’t take away from Islam though he’s next champ probably
